Wolfsmelk

Spurge is a highly diverse perennial that works excellently in flowerbeds as a base for more colorful plants. Some species thrive in dry and hot locations or gravel plantings, while others appreciate moister soil and can tolerate partial shade. Most of them share an interesting leaf structure and often vibrant lime-colored inflorescences that remain fresh for many weeks. In the spring garden, these plants have a firm place. Their unconventional coloring and airy shape create a nice contrast to spring bulbs. They look great next to striking flowers, so if you are currently finding out how to grow tulips, do not forget to add spurges to the flowerbed with them. When maintaining them, just keep in mind that the stems ooze white sap after being cut, which can irritate the skin, so it is a good idea to wear gloves.
